What Max Magnus Norman paints is his visions; such kind of images which might appear in the mind during meditation or in dreams. He depicts these visions as accurate as possible with the result that the vision becomes a prophecy of the forthcoming painting. The symbols in the paintings are quite without references; a dinosaur could be an angel and everything which looks human is hardly human. The meaning of the paintings is not always clear, but there is always a meaning which slowly surfaces - you never see the same painting twice."
